0:25-5:39БАТЮШКА (KRZYSZTOF DRABIKOWSKI) (Poland)Песнь 6— Batushka are in a heated legal battle, and there seems to be drama on both sides. The NON-Metal Blade version is incredible epic melodic massive intense black metal with awesome riffs and vocals.

Edit: Earlier I had said I liked the Metal Blade version, but it is not the version. I like the guitarist/Kryzsctof's version - it is way fucking more awesome. No comparison. They have similar album covers, so it is way confusing.

6:42-11:09VIMUR (GA)Nuclear Desecration— Atlanta Georgia is making their name in frostbitten dramatic black metal that breaks down deliciously.

11:42-18:03DARKTHRONE (Norway)I Muffle Your Inner Choir— The 18th full length of Darkthrone is more of the same vein of their recent style of chomping rock with just a little bit of sinister thrown in. These guys still have ideas.

18:34-26:08LUNAR SHADOW (Germany)Hawk of the Hills— Retro dramatic heavy metal with some modern twists of death rock.

9:03-12:44TVX (New Zealand)Skuttabrain— TVX had the most crusty badass as a lead singer. Sadly, she has passed away, but not without leaving us fist in the air vocals.

13:09-20:15YELLOW EYES (NYC)Light Delusion Curtain— Yellow Eyes is one of my faves, and this song released from their upcoming album proves this is going to be another incredible tempo-lurching madness.

20:43-25:04SINNERS BLEED (Berlin)The Second Being— Technical death from old school Germans.

47:38-52:06STATIQBLOOM (Brooklyn)Possession— Now a duo, and with Fade's brilliance in creating modern electronic that is even more dissonant. But he knows what the true industrial fan wants, which is to dance.

52:36-58:36ENTHRONED (Belgium)Silent Redemption— Moments of stillness is where I live, and this band creates pockets that highlight the tight drumming and beautiful drifting melodies.

59:09-ENDFUMING MOUTH (MA)The Spirit's Chain— Converge-loving Mass. This is in a similar vein of chaotic large hardcore sound.
